Le Creuset is thrilled to announce the limited edition re-launch of COQUELLE 2014 in South Korea. First launched in 1958, the Le Creuset COQUELLE was designed by Raymond Loewy also known as the “father of modern design.”

Loewy’s designs included the Coca-Cola bottle, the logos for Shell and Exxon, the Greyhound bus, the Lucky Strike cigarette pack, and the S1 Locomotive.

Today’s Google Doodle honors what would have been the 120th birthday of Raymond Loewy (1893-1986), often referred to as the “father of industrial design” who ”made products irresistible at a time when nobody really wanted to pay for anything,” as TIME once wrote.
